Clearing the STOP_FAILED Error Flag on Resources

When the Failover_mode resource property is set to NONE or SOFT and the STOP
of a resource fails, the individual resource goes into the STOP_FAILED state, and the resource group goes into the ERROR_STOP_FAILED state. You cannot bring a resource group in this state on any node
online, nor can you edit the resource group (create or delete resources, or
change resource group or resource properties).

How to Clear the STOP_FAILED Error Flag on Resources

To complete this procedure, you must
supply the following information.

The name of the node where the resource is STOP_FAILED

The name of the resource and resource group that are in STOP_FAILED state

Identify which resources have gone into the STOP_FAILED
state and on which nodes.

# scstat-g

Manually stop the resources and their monitors on the nodes on which
they are in STOP_FAILED state.

This step might require that you kill processes or run commands that
are specific to resource types or other commands.

Manually set the state of these resources to OFFLINE
on all of the nodes on which you manually stopped the resources.

# scswitch-c-hnodelist-jresource-fSTOP_FAILED

-c

Clears the flag.

-hnodelist

Specifies a comma-separated list of the names of the nodes
where the resource is in the STOP_FAILED state. The list
may contain one node name or more than one node name.

-jresource

Specifies the name of the resource to switch offline.

-fSTOP_FAILED

Specifies the flag name.

Check the resource group state on the nodes where you cleared the STOP_FAILED flag in Step 4.

The resource group state should now be OFFLINE or ONLINE.

# scstat-g

The command scstat-g indicates whether
the resource group remains in the ERROR_STOP_FAILED state.
If the resource group is still in the ERROR_STOP_FAILED
state, then run the following scswitch command to switch
the resource group offline on the appropriate nodes.

# scswitch-F-gresource-group

-F

Switches the
resource group offline on all of the nodes that can master the group.

-gresource-group

Specifies the name of the resource group to switch offline.

This situation can occur if the resource group was being
switched offline when the STOP method failure occurred
and the resource that failed to stop had a dependency on other resources in
the resource group. Otherwise, the resource group reverts to the ONLINE or OFFLINE state automatically after you
have run the command in Step 4 on all of the STOP_FAILED resources.
